The city is beginning to come alive! The tourists are beginning to return and to enjoy the spirit of this wonderful, little place called Nauvoo. The weather has already turned sultry, as the humidity begins to uncomfortably settle upon this historic place within the Lord’s vineyard. The Mississippi River is beautiful and invites all to come and see the majesty

of one of God’s most miraculous creations.

The shows have begun and they are wonderful. The Young Performing Missionaries are incredible talented and full of unstoppable energy. One if the shows entitled, “Sunset By

The Mississippi” has changed some of the acts within, which has caused the true talents of the dancers and singers to entertain vast audiences of appreciative supporters. We look forward to The Nauvoo pageant to begin (July 8-August 2). This year for the first time there will be two pageants. The Nauvoo Pageant will be performed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. The new British Pageant, which debuted last summer in England, will be performed on stage on Wednesday’s and Friday’s. We are excited for the Pageants to begin and to mingle with the people that will come to Nauvoo to enjoy the entertainment and the spirit within the City of Joseph.

We are very busy teaching and have been blessed with a number of people with which to share the gospel. It is miraculous to observe the spirit touch their hearts as they come closer unto Christ. We are hopeful that true conversions will continue to take place and that several of these wonderful people will become members of Christ’s church. We will attend the Nauvoo Temple with resent converts on Monday, June 2.  We look forward to being with them as they continue their journey with the Lord.

We are hopeful that each of us remembers that the Lord needs member missionaries to step up their efforts and to find souls to refer to those wonderful missionaries in your area. The key is to INVITE! Nothing happens in missionary work until we have someone to teach. The Lord loves His missionaries, each of them! Help them find those that have been prepared to hear the gospel.

Stand Strong and Be Bold!!

We love you,

Elder and Sister Warner
